Spirit Week took place from Monday, October 13, to Saturday, October 18. This annual event is used to boost the school’s spirit and the morale of the football team. who will lead us to a victorious game that Friday night. Each day of the week, the student body dressed in specific attire. The costumes were so outrageous that if a visitor had been in the building he would have thought Clover Hill is very unusual. The annual class distinction day was held Thursday. Freshmen were supposed to be “Little Rascals.” Of those who dressed, most came as Buckwheat. Darla, or Alfalfa. Having the easiest job, all the sophomores had to do was leave home in the morning because it was Pajama Day for them. Juniors were to imitate the Nerds they had seen during their lives. As tradition dictates, Seniors wore togas and sun glasses to show their spirit. Many students turned out for the Thursday night ac- tivities. First, there was the Girls’ Basketball game against L. C. Bird Skyhawks. After a long and hard struggle the Lady Cavs lost 55 to 44. After the game, students rushed to the bonfire. Here, the SCA class representatives threw dummies resembl- ing our opponents into the flames. The crowd proved that spirit would be high at the game. Friday, we were on an activity schedule in order to have a pep rally during the last fifty minutes of school. Students, faculty, and alumni alike watched as many ex- citing and new events took place. For the first time, the J.V. and Varsity Cheerleaders performed with the Cavalettes for one number. To add to the new events, the first Faculty Royal Court was announced. The members led by the king, Dr. Vorhauer, included Math teachers Mr. Johns and Mrs. Bowman, Social Studies teachers Mrs. Snidow and Mr. Strickland, English teachers Mr. Ferguson and Mrs. Harris, Science teacher Mr. Rice, and French teacher Ms. Moore. Throughout the week, students were preparing for many contests. Friday after- noon brought an end to the hall decorating contest when the Sophomore hall and its “Rock Around The Clock” theme was announced the victor. This added to the class’s win in the dummy contest. Spirit had reached fever pitch by this time. Senior Aaron Gillespie watches Senior Cavalette Janet Holt, trying to figure ““How does she do that?” Noe Sophomore’ Representative Buddy Omohundro tosses a Meadowbrook manne- quin into the bonfire.

The finale of Clover Hill’s 1985-86 Homecoming Week was full of celebration and hope for the future. The weekend’s festivities began Friday night at the varsity football game where members of various clubs presented floats which were judged on the basis of spirit and effort. Honorable mention went to the Drama Club with their death scene and the Chess Club who acted as walking chess pieces. The German Club with their theme “Even the Wildest Animals are tamed!” took third place. Second place was awarded to the Spanish Club for their float which featured a moving windmill made of flowers. The Sophomore Class Council captured top honors in the homecoming competition by winning the contest with their float entitled “Winds of Change Determine Your Fate, Rock with the Class of 88’ which demonstrated the changes in music over the years. The night continued with the recognition of the Homecoming Court of 1985. The Freshman class was represented by Princess Kelly Zacharias, Duchess Cindy Easterling, and Prince Adam Shoemaker. Princess Callie Householder, Duchess Lee Graham, and Prince L. P. Holt were the Sophomore’s addition to the court, while Princess Jill Hartnett, Duchess Sandi Hodges, and Prince Robert Whitfield were elected by the Juniors. Senior Princesses included Vickie Baughan, Laura Copp and Jenny Hopkins. The high point of the ceremony was the announcement and crowning of Barbie Martin as Homecoming Queen with Tracy Yeatts as the Maid of Honor. The conclusion of the week was the Homecoming Dance on Saturday night. The S.C.A., who sponsored the festivities, also decorated the cafeteria which became a beach for the night. ““The Reunion” provided most of the music, but they were minus a lead singer. Many students, including Seniors Matt St. Louis and Tim Mullins and Sophomore David Young, took over the responsibility and continued the fun. During the dance, Barry Blalock, Mark Hensley, and Mark York, the Senior Princes, were introduced, and Sparky Dodson was crowned King. With the varsity’s 21-0 victory over the Meadowbrook Monarchs, the school and its many winners had much to celebrate as “The Winds of Change” continued to carry them to the future.
